What do you think of my character names?

Writers' Corner

In a story I wrote and a currently revising, I have four main characters and four major-but-not-main characters. I gave them all first and last names. Please let me know what you think of them, and if you have any middle name suggestions, I’d appreciate that. Thanks!

Main four:
Cerulean Maxwell: 15 years old, male, straight (will be in a relationship with Aeryn)
Aeryn Villis: 14 years old, female, straight (will be in a relationship with Cerulean), has little sister (Idryssa)
Kael Butterskot: 15 years old, male, gay (will be in a relationship with Eno)
Eno Cort: 15 years old, male, bisexual (will be in a relationship with Kael)

(also, I know that it’s a little unrealistic for all four of the members of the group to find a relationship with someone else in the group, but just trust me that it works in this story)

Major-but-not-main four:
Idryssa Villis: 7 years old, female, straight, has older sister (Aeryn)
Jemica “Jem” Weber: 37 years old, female, bisexual (has two children from the same man but is not in a relationship with him)
Theadosia “Thea” Weber: 13 years old, female, lesbian
Fenn Weber: 7 years old, female, straight

Thank you all in advance for any input!

I love all of those, they fit really well together and they’re all just so cool!! When reading Jemica, I couldn’t help but think of [name_f]Jamaica[/name_f], but that’s the only issue I had. I absolutely love [name_f]Aeryn[/name_f] and [name_m]Eno[/name_m]. You’ve done a fantastic job naming your characters!

I love everything you’ve chosen here! They sound great!! I do agree with @RadiantSquid about Jemica / [name_f]Jamaica[/name_f]. Here are some middle name suggestions that seem like they could fit in your book:

[name_f]Willadean[/name_f]
[name_f]Doretta[/name_f] / [name_f]Loretta[/name_f]
[name_f]Calina[/name_f]
[name_f]Idonna[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavina[/name_f] / Lavine
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f] (pronounced as NEEV)
[name_f]Leona[/name_f]
[name_f]Quenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Thomasin[/name_f]
[name_f]Ianthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Catheria[/name_f]
[name_f]Inola[/name_f]
[name_m]Ciaran[/name_m]
[name_m]Keyan[/name_m] (like [name_m]Ian[/name_m], with a K)
[name_u]Connolly[/name_u]
[name_m]Tide[/name_m]
[name_u]Reeve[/name_u] / [name_m]Reeves[/name_m]
[name_f]Timothea[/name_f]
Wanetta

I feel like these are bold choices. Are all of the characters human?

Yes, they are, but it takes place pretty far in the future, so the names are supposed to seem unusual right now… do you think they’d work in that setting?
